Without commenting on whether this patent should be granted or not, I really don't think it is about ECS in general. The patent has to do with an automated system for organizing component data into arrays and chunks. The key word being

I don't know the details of slab allocators. Though if you are describing an allocator that does not have knowledge of what the memory is being used for (e.g. the difference between asking the allocator for memory for a position compon

Not really. To me the novelty in the first claim is that they have a system which automatically determines an optimal memory layout, even in the face of new combinations of components within a newly created entity. A typical hand-crafted EC

My read (and from what I know of ECS) is that it's basically claiming a system which automatically organizes the memory layouts of instances of different types of "entities" (i.e. "type" meaning which "componen

It’s embarrassing and shameful behavior by the author, and even more embarrassing that he was willing to share it publicly. If it’s the culture of that startup that this kind of stuff is just typical day-to-day employee interaction, I don’t

The reason was probably that no one ever needs to delete just a subset of cookies from a site. I certainly never have, and I'm a pretty technically-minded user. (Other than for development, in which case I'm using dev tools anyway

Effectively zero. Ridiculous that anyone would think this an issue even worth discussing.

I have never known anyone to need to delete an individual cookie vs all for a site. Certainly I've never needed that. Only time I have (probably ever) deleted an individual cookie was for testing during development, and in those cases

> There's no difference between TSV and CSV but the separator This is not true, though almost everyone (understandably) assumes this based on the names.
104.
by shock-value 5y ago
Despite the similar names, TSV and CSV are very different, in more ways than just the delimiter. In particular, CSV tries to handle escape sequences but its various implementations do so in different ways. TSV just disallows tab characters
105.
by shock-value 5y ago
Strong agree. TSV is better than CSV always (unless you need to interface with an external system that doesn't accept it). For those not aware, TSV and CSV differ by more than just the delimiting character. TSV has a dead-simple specif

The do vastly lower the rate of transmission. That could translate into lower peak hospital utilization (even not accounting for their ability to prevent illness) which is good for everyone. I do agree that this thing is going to spread in

I agree with your criticism but also firmly believe that once COVID started spreading beyond a few handfuls of individuals, its fate as a human endemic disease was locked in. No difference in policy by any or all countries would have change

It's so odd because Postgres generally does everything else so well and is generally very customizable and modular otherwise. Yet the maintainers totally scoff at the idea of query hints even in the face of so many examples of planning

I like Postgres but this aspect is one of its shortcomings. In Postgres you usually have to rework your query in weird ways and hope that it's possible to get the optimizer to make the right choice. Even then, due to its usage of stati

Unless I'm misreading they didn't add another index. They actually just reduced the original index by removing an indexed expression and excluding rows that didn't match that expression instead.

The issue with Japan is not specifically the decline nor absolute level of overall population. It's rather the demographic makeup which is shifting older. The next few decades will be increasingly difficult for them as their economy wi
